Overview
Welcome to the SFF Summer Reading challenge 2025!
The purpose of the challenge is to explore speculative genres like science fiction, fantasy, horror, and magical realism throughout the summer. Not only is the purpose to read more SFF books, it is also to explore the genres more through their representation, worldbuilding, character archetypes, and format.
As long as the book fits under the speculative fiction umbrella, they count for the prompts, so whether you're into epic fantasy, space operas, or literary fiction with a ghost or two, it all fits! I highly encourage you to read genres you usually don't. Although if you want to wholly focus on one genre you're very welcome to do that!
You can do the challenge however you want - if a book you read fits more than one prompt, feel free to add it to all the ones that fit. If you want more of a challenge, do only one prompt per book.
Go at your own pace; the most important thing here is to have fun, explore books you maybe wouldn't have otherwise, and find some new favourites!
This year it's posible to join a group on discord, where you can find recommendations, buddy reads, or just someone to chat with. You can join the discord HERE!
You can also join me on instagram at @theDragonsDen_ , where you can post under the tag #sffsummerreading / #sffsummerreadingchallenge, and/or tag me directly. I'd love to see what you're reading!
